Winch systems on heavy-duty transporters have the task of pulling damaged vehicles onto the low-loader safely and in a controlled manner. A single winch with an appropriate pulling force, normally between 250 and 400 kN, is sufficient for this task.

In most cases, not only loading of the low-loader via the winch is required. Rather, it is also about the controlled unloading of the low-loader. This is only possible with two winches. With the help of a deflection, the load is pulled off the low-loader with one winch, while the other winch secures the load. This is particularly important if the defective vehicle is pulled over the tipping point of the low-loader. Without using the second winch as a braking winch, there is a risk that the load will slip off the low-loader in an uncontrolled manner.

Twin winch systems also offer unbeatable advantages when loading the low bed trailer. By pulling crosswise with both winches, the winch operator can precisely control and position the load. This enables the precise loading of a wrecked, damaged vehicle onto the low loader, even if it is not perfectly positioned in relation to the load. This cannot be solved with a single winch.

Both ROTZLER TARVOS drum winches and the ROTZLER TREIBMATIC are used in the twin winch systems of ROTZLER. These winches have pulling forces of 200 or 250 kN. Both winches, placed next to each other, can be integrated into a modular support frame behind the driver's cab of the truck. Installation on the low-loader is also conceivable. The modular base frame enables the system to be easily adapted to customer requirements. Depending on the needs, for example, an auxiliary winch for pulling out the rope of the main winches, storage boxes, a control stand, or other attachments can be integrated. A complete package of accessories such as a four-strand chain, shackles, etc. is also available.
